About Our Client

This Hong Kong-based asset management firm, established in Hong kong for over a decade, as the wholly owned international arm of a leading Mainland Chinese fund group, operates with full regulatory authorization under Type 1 (Dealing in Securities), Type 4 (Advising on Securities), and Type 9 (Asset Management) licenses issued by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.
It plays a pivotal role in its parent group's overseas investment strategy. The Hong Kong investment team works in an integrated structure with the group's global investment platform, covering Hong Kong equities, U.S.-listed Chinese companies, and offshore fixed income markets. Its fixed income activities benefit from the parent company's established credit research capabilities, while its equity platform forms part of one of the earliest Mainland managers to invest in Hong Kong markets. Backed by a Mainland institution founded for nearly three decades-one of the first fund management companies approved by the CSRC-this Hong Kong entity draws on extensive experience, strong research depth, and a wide set of qualifications spanning public funds, segregated mandates, advisory, pension mandates, and cross‑border programs such as QDII and QFII.
Today, the firm is expanding strategically across multiple business directions in Hong Kong, supported by full resource alignment and cross‑border integration with its Mainland headquarters. This expansion is reinforced by strong internal backing, research support, and a commitment to strengthening its international asset‑management footprint.

Job Description

• Assist the portfolio manager in overseeing multi‑type ETF portfolios, including but not limited to equity ETFs, leveraged/inverse ETFs, and alternative‑strategy ETFs, with particular emphasis on hands‑on operational experience in overseas ETF portfolios (especially the Hong Kong market).
• Participate deeply in the full lifecycle operations of ETFs, including preparation of the PCF (Portfolio Composition File), cash substitution management, tracking error analysis, and other key operational processes.
• Proactively coordinate with Participating Dealers (PDs) and Market Makers to efficiently handle daily creation/redemption orders, manage liquidity, and address any operational irregularities.
• Build and maintain automated monitoring tools using Python and Excel (including VBA) to support daily PCF data validation, NAV estimation, and monitoring of risk indicators (e.g., tracking deviation, holdings concentration, liquidity coverage, etc.).
• Keep abreast of ETF regulatory developments, product innovation trends, and best practices across Hong Kong and major global exchanges, and provide operational enhancement suggestions to the team.

The Successful Applicant

1. Strong ETF Operations Foundation:
   Familiar with the operational mechanics of Hong Kong ETFs, including IOPV calculation, PCF preparation, in‑kind creation/redemption rules, and fund valuation methodologies.
2. Ecosystem Collaboration Capability:
   Solid understanding of the Hong Kong ETF ecosystem-roles of PDs, Market Makers, custodians, index providers, etc.-with proven practical experience in stakeholder coordination.
3. Excellent Language Skills:
   Fluent in both Mandarin and English, in written and verbal communication; proficiency in Cantonese is a plus (to facilitate communication with Hong Kong‑based institutions).
4. Technical Proficiency:
   Highly skilled in Excel (including VBA) and capable of using Python to develop daily monitoring scripts to improve operational efficiency and accuracy.
5. Detail‑Oriented & Proactive:
   Strong numerical sensitivity, high sense of responsibility, and strong cross‑team collaboration skills; able to deliver consistently in a fast‑paced, high‑precision environment.
